  1. A 1
  2. B \(\frac{5}{3}\)
  3. C \(\frac{2}{3}\)
  4. D \(\frac{2}{9}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{2}{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(\) getting 1 or 6\()=p=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}\) \(\therefore \quad q=1-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}\) Let \(X\) be the random variable showing the number of success as \(\therefore P(X=0)={ }^3 C_0\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^0\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^3=\frac{8}{27}\)…
